GH-646: Transaction Improvements

Resolves #646

- add protection to the transactional producer cache to avoid multiple cache inserts
- add try/catch around `abortTransaction()`
- detect (and reject) an illegal call to `template.send()` when there is no existing transaction
- from the send callback remove the `ThreadLocal` check (will always be null) and only close the producer if it's not transactional
- remove autoFlush from template tests
